Sandman Slim returns and LA is literally going to Hell. Lucifer is topside making a movie, the Golden Vigil is acting shady, and zombies are running amok. Stark seems to be the only one who cares about any of this, but he's been bitten by a zombie and may not survive the next few days. Brutal action, funny dialogue, and a main character you can't help but root for. ( )

Another volume in the Sandman Slim saga - Its been a few months after the first book, and Sandman Slim isn't living up to his hype. A few cases for Lucifer, a few cases for heaven's side - and he is barely making ends meet. Than Lucifer comes into town, working on a movie of his life, requesting that Sandman be his personal bodyguard. When the zombies show up, all hell breaks, and Sandman Slim needs to fix it.

These books are fun, easy reads, not on anybody's "best literature" list. But they are full of action, full of interesting characters, and lots and lots of irreverence. Read them if you want to fill a Saturday afternoon on a deck, drinking a beer. Stay away if you are squeamish about large amounts blood and violence, and a general disregard for any sort of ethical sensibility. ( )

He accepts the job because the money's good.Things get a bit hectic in L.A. when zombies in massive numbers start appearing. Friends get hurt and Stark really has to front up to the danger.Lots of twists and better plotted than the first book. A very quick read. ( )

Book description

James Stark, a.k.a. Sandman Slim, crawled out of Hell, took bloody revenge for his girlfriend’s murder, and saved the world along the way. After that, what do you do for an encore? You take a lousy job tracking down monsters for money. It’s a depressing gig, but it pays for your beer and cigarettes. But in L.A., things can always get worse.

Like when Lucifer comes to town to supervise his movie biography and drafts Stark as his bodyguard. Sandman Slim has to swim with the human and inhuman sharks of L.A.’s underground power elite. That’s before the murders start. And before he runs into the Czech porn star who isn’t quite what she seems. Even before all those murdered people start coming back from the dead and join a zombie army that will change our world and Stark’s forever.

Death bites. Life is worse. All things considered, Hell’s not looking so bad.
